The Best Cheap Super Glues For Sale on Amazon in 2019

Super glues use moisture to form a strong (and quick setting) chemical bond.

If you've ever had a tube of super glue "dry out," the reality is that the glue got wet and cured as a result. That's one reason why these cyanoacrylate adhesives are being sold in ever-smaller tubes. (You can extend a glue's storage life by keeping it in a salt-filled mason jar.)

Most cyanoacrylate adhesives are fundamentally the same, but some include things like rubberized pellets to help the glue withstand impacts and side pressures. Super glues aren't as "all-purpose" as many people believe, but they're great for small, low-impact indoor jobs.

Gorilla's super glue is effective, according to several Amazon customers, but many complained that the glue is sold in too-large-a-bottle that looks half empty, even when it’s new. A few customers warn that this glue is slower to cure than a typical super glue.

Gorilla's super glue gel is better for large gaps than traditional super glue, according to several Amazon customers. Some reviewers don't like that the glue needs to be shaken before each use; others warn that the glue is hard to remove from your hands (and recommend using rubber gloves).

This Gorilla Super Glue has a convenient White-Out-like brush, according to several Amazon customers. Some reviewers were disappointed that the glue dries white, not clear. Others complain that the applicator brush becomes unusably "gummed up" over time.
